About midnight strange small craft came
and anchored beside the Minnesota. The
Confederates who saw her next morning said
afterwards she looked like black plank with
a Yankee cheese box Oh top. The mysterious
sud this was her trial trip. She had come
into the roads that night just in time to hear
the last of the cannonading Her commander
was Lieut. John L. Worden. u. S. N.
The yankee cheese box" that the Confed-
crates saw was O revolving tower or turret,
twenty feet in diameter and ten feet high
bomb proof. Inside were two 11-inch Dahl
gren cannon, which could be turned and
aimed III any direction through the portfolios
of the tower. The guns were revolved with
power from the double cylinder engine that
propelled the boat The deck of the vessel
was nearly level with the water, and down
under this Gil tho crew stayed except the
two who worked the guns within the turret.
The boat was sharpened at both ends, 124 feet
long, 81 feet wide, and had doubla hull
The upper hull projected all over the lower
one, and protected anchor, rudder and screw
propeller, The whole top was dccked over with
heavy iron. The top of the turret was of rail.
road bar iron, armored over with iron plate,
holes being left for ventilation. To get at the
Monitors machinery, and damage bee. a shot
would have to pass through twenty feet Of
water g,.d then strike slanting heavy iron
plate. Thus there was nothing a sho. could
touch except the fat deck or the -tu,ret or
tho low fiat pilot house. which latter was as
heavily built as the terret, The smoke stack,
also protected with heavy iron boxing, was
built telescope fashion with slides that could
be drawn within one another when the vessel
was in action
There was no way to ses into her except
down ladder through the turret, one man
st = time. Such was the invincible little
demon of war that came down to meet the
Merrimac She was built in 100 days out

In the map the black, broken lines to the
northward indicate the Confederate troops,
the open ones a little south of them the
Federals. By q skiIlful movement Van
Dorm had thanked Curtis on the night of
March and gained his rear. This threatened
to cut off Curtis communication with Spring
field, Mo-, and his supplies. The aspect was
black enough.
Gen Franz Sigel distinguished himself hon.
orably in a skir1nish on March 6. His camp
was the most westerly of Curtis forces, being
near Bentonville, which appears on the map.
Van Dorm passed through that town on his
way northward to get i'll Curtis rear. By
skillfully covering his right flank with a cav
airy movement Sigel managed to get off with
his whole supply train and convey it to Sugar
creek About GOO men and five pieces of light
artillery were behind at Bentonville, and in
moment they were surrounded with Confed-
crate cavalry and infantry. Sigel himself
was fortunately with them, however, having
staid with the rear guard. He handled the
brave 600 so slillfully, now fighting, now re-
treating, always nearer TO Curtis and Pea
Ridge, that he managed to bring them nearly
all off in safety, over a distance of ten miles.
Sigel is now United States pension agent at
New York
Curtiss front was to the south, from which
direction he expected the enemy to come.

AT LOW PRICES,

Of our war occurred on Sunday. So did tho
battle of Waterloo, and many other great
fights the world over.
Sunday, March 9, about 6 o clock in the
morning, the sioping roof of the tremendous
ram doomed up through the haze, and bore
down upon the Minnesota. With her were
her attendants of the day before, the Con-
federate gunboats Patrick Henry, James
town, Raleigh, Beaufort and Teascr. To-
gether they carried eleven guns In the
battle of the day before Commodore Bu-
chanan had been severely wounded by
shot from the Congress, and in the ac-
ton of March o, the command devolvei
upon his first officer, Lieut. Catesby Jones.
The powder division on board the Congress was
in charge of Paymaster Mexican Buchanan,
brother of the commander of the Merrimac.
Only one thing had prevented the destruc-
ton of the Minnesota in tho action of Satur-
day, and that was tho fact that she was
grounded in water too shoal for the Mer-
rimac to come near her. Her misfortune had
proved her salvation.
AT the approach of the Merrimac and her
tenders on Sunday morning the drums of
the Minnesota beat to quarters Away down
under water the crew of the little Monitor
got ready for fight.
A strange scene in naval warfare then took
place The gray bearded captain at Old
Point Comfort tells it as though ii happened
yesterday. The Monitor was only one-fifth
the size of the Merrimac and Of very much
lighter draft. $780,
The Merrimac Steamed up past the Mime
sofa toward Fortress Monroe Then sba
turned and prepared to come straight at the
Minnesota

which finally, including the re-enforcemeats
added from time to time, amounted to H.
0q5 men. Curtis was an Ohio man, n West
Point graduate, and he had been q colonel il.
the Mexican war. He had been a congress
man from Iowa, and lived in that state when
the civil war broke out.
An instructive part of war history is got
from reading the correspondence and the re-
ports in the government archives. Nearly
oil the generals in the field constantly beg the
department commanders for re-enforcements,
ard are answered that re-enforcements are
being forwarded as fast as possible.
In Hallecks instruction to Curtis he con-
stantly urges the latter to keep his men to-
gether, and not let the enemy fight him in
detail Throw out your cavalry carefully"
says Hallecll, "like fingers to the hand, so that
they can be drawn in on the main body"
Curtis, in one of his letters, declares that he
must have cavalry horses, 400 new sets of ar
tillery harness and 10000 pairs of pants"
Haleck answers back that 'pants will be
sent" but he cannot spare any horses.
Missouri and Arkansas were the scene of
the most desperate guerrilla fighting of the
war, and this fact is also reflected i'll Curtis
letters He tells Col. Clark Wright: "There
is great set of rogues about keitsville and |
hope you will find and arrest and send back
the most of them. Another of Curtis orders
is very strict in regard to protection of pli-
vate property. He viii not permit houses to
be entered unless for spies, arms or soldiers.
"Restrain your troops from acts of cruelty
and folly" he directs Col. Wright.
Gen. Price wiHtercd at Springfield, getting
recruits and supplies February II, Curtis
began his march against Price, AS he APP
preached Price retreated south, and finally
went over the border into Arkansas He
camped at a place called Cross Holows.
Curtis cavalry followed i'll close pursuit.
Price retreated hastily, leaving a number of
sick and a considerable amount Of commits
sary stores behind him. He burned his bar
racks at Cross Hollows.
Near this place occurred one of those out
RACES of the war which all must regret now.
Some of Prices provisions We're left at ham,
let called Mud Town. Some Confederate
officers, before they abandoned these, scat
tered poison over them. Federal officers and
men following on found the provisions, ate
of them and sickened and died. Who per-
petrated the act has never been exactly ascer-
tanned But it shows what warfare in Mis-
souri, and Arkansas meant in those days.
Price continued retreating till he came to
Boston mountains. Look on the map and
you win see q spur of the Ozark range ex-
tending into the northwest corner of Arkan-
sas, about fifty miles south of the border.
This is the Boston mountains, a stretch of
hills 2,0C0 feet high.

dent Lincoln visited him, and wept at
sight of the blinded hero who had done so
much The gallant officer finally recovered
his sight Nobody else in the Monitor was
hurt.
The Minnesota had been terribly shattered.
A shot from the Merrimac had exploded the
boiler of the tug Dragon, scalding several
men. The Minnesota, by throwing over
board some guns and other heavy articles,
and by attaching several moro tugs to pull
and strain at her, got out of her mad bed
Monday morning and went up under the
shelter of Fortress Monroe.
In the two days fighting the Federal
forces lost nearly 400 men and two valuable
ships; the Confederate forces lost thirteen
men. The Monitor was struck with shot
twenty-five times, one Of which damaged tho
pilot house somewhat. The Merrimacs long
iron bow had been twisted when she ran into
the Cumberland. Two of her guns were
broken. her smoke and steam pipes and flag
staff were shot away, and as she steamed up
Norfolk bay II was seen that she sagged at
